So i was successfully able to unbrick my at&t note 3 with a method that required that i would run the mi9 baseband but have the mj5 firmware. So my question is, would i be able to root my phone again using kingo or would that combination potentially cause errors or malfunctions with rooting my phone an possibly soft brick yet again?

Well I would say the only way to know is to try. I'm not thinking this phone has been around long enough for your particular scenario to pan out yet.

It would be nice if you told me what to use and where to find it. :crying:
I don't have mj5 firmware, and if you look at my username, I need help
Google kingo root(I did) or follow the restore thread in general. Kingo root is the easiest and least likely to brick

For some reason my version says mi9 instead of mj5. I completed all steps except step 10 as I wanted to at least get back to nb4. Any idea on what may have happened???

I have used those steps twice to get my phone back to MJ5. They work. There is either something your missing or you have upgraded to something different and are having issues going back.
but it does work.
Even the MI9 file included in the list?

Yes all files less the Mega one which is just a mirror to the MI9 fix anyway.
Got it. Didn't repartition. Thanks

Once you're on a new build its impossible to downgrade because the bootloader is locked. So sorry to say you're stuck. The builds ending with MJ5, and NB4 are android 4.3 jellybean and aren't bad at all! The 4.4 NC2, and MLG have quirks.
The restore to MJ5 thread is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559715
MI9 is Odin flashable and available here http://www.mediafire.com/?jmypf8ggtxu1a61
It's only good if you're still on MI9.
There is no restore method for any 4.4 versions. Just some modified NC2 or MLG roms available.
Hi! I am trying to unroot my phone and return all the way to stock.
Problem is that I lost all my backups.
I *think* I am currently on an older version of the FireKat rom.
I just want to completely go back to stock everything and start fresh. Will probably end up rooting and ROM'ing again at some point but for now just want to get on stock everything. Getting bored of my phone and having a lot of little bugs and issues (nothing major) but would like to switch back for a while because I simply just dont have the time to keep up with everything.
So if someone could please just point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it. Have looked for a guide on how to do it but am not sure if it will work for what I am trying to do.
Thank you very much in advance!

The screenshot above is where my phone currently stand. So what do I do to get from there to stock everything? I am also using several Wanam Xposed mods/tweaks/whatever. Does that effect this process at all?
I am aware of the comment someone left but I have no idea what that is. Any care to help me out and let me know if that applies to my current situation? I really need to get this done tonight. Thank you all!
What I linked to earlier is the thread which contains the stock restore files which you can use to restore your phone to factory fresh official NC2 using Odin. There are several threads linked in the thread I posted which will help you to restore If you aren't familiar with using Odin.

Thank you very much!! So after I do that I will be able to take all the official OTA's without messing anything up correct?
Real quick before I go through with this.. Do I want to ONLY use the 4 files (BL, AP, CP, CSC)? Or do I want to use those 4 files AND the pit file? Sorry for all the questions it has been forever since I did this
You shouldn't have any problems taking OTAs after this process. Unless there are any problems with your partitions, I wouldn't bother with the pit file.

I don't even know exactly what that means so I should be fine haha. Gonna try it now. Thank you very much for the help!

Not sure what info you need it has 4.4.2 on it now he just wants to root the phone again, towel root does not work and he used that at first but lost root
4.4.2 is what i needed. 5.0 is it now and didn't know if you had that version because it can't be rooted. I have the towel root v3 that still works. I'll try to get it uploaded in a bit. i just downgraded to nce and it still works

If you're on 4.4.2 and towel root doesn't work, you must be on nce. You need to downgrade to the nd3 kernel, root with towel root and then upgrade to the nce kernel. If you update to 4.4.4 you have to do the same process. I suggest you do not upgrade to 5.0, as it will break root unless you upgrade a special way.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3077652
OK. Your kernel is what is not supported in towel root then. Go to the linked forum, download the nce.rar, extract the tar and flash in the AP slot using Odin 3.09. After that you will be able to use towel root. This will reset your phone to factory so backup or save everything your gonna want on you desktop before doing this. I just did this 2 nights ago so i know this will work.
I just want to be clear. If not, is it going to be possible to do in the future?

Predicting the future of development is impossible. A root method can appear 5 seconds from now, or 5 months, or never. People working on finding exploits do not post about it until they have a working method to post.

You'll just have to wait until Marshmallow drops and a root exploit is found for that xP
I'm just hoping that we get root eventually for us that never had a chance to get the older one.

correct.
No root for you. at least not until a new exploit is found.
Downgrading
Ok so I accidentally upgraded my phone to g925vvru2aof1 verison, and when I researched to see if I could root I found it wasn’t supported. My question is, can I downgrade this version to a version that you can root? Or am I stuck on this update? Thanks in advance for your help!
Can anyone upload a odin version of this update for non-rooted phones? It would be greatly appreciated.

I don't believe if there is a PA3 for G900A. PA2 is the latest version for the phone.

On At&t's website it says there was one 3 days ago.

You are correct; it is an update to bring the phone up to date with Android Security Patch: 2016-05-01. I wonder if AT&T is switching to monthly software updates. If that is the case, then any kind of root solution would be very short lived before they issue a patch for it.

By the way, for unknown reasons Chrome can't open the link for me, while MS Edge loads the page just fine.
Anyone with G900A PA3 odin files yet by any chance?
Yes, does anyone have these files? Thanks
I'd also like to have the Odin Stock PA3 files. Using AT&T -_- not sure what to do here... towelroot didn't like it. I made sure unknown sources... etc..
i want to downgrade as far down as possible so it can be rooted. And how is PA3 able downgrade to OA1? How are they compatible?
I don't mind downgrading as long as it doesn't trip the warranty (if it was my phone i would have already done it successfully) ... but that's what my sister's phone came with. Trying to help her out. please, if anyone has a way to root or can confirm that the downgrade won't 110% brick it.. I really don't know which ones I can actually downgrade with.. some are able to go from PA2 to PA1 no problems and some report bricks-- as long as I can get to download mode (and i even have some jigs to make sure or at least try) ... if i can get that even water downgrading as mentioned above, then i'll try it.. anyone?
We're on PA4 now..

I'd rather stay on PA3 unless it means you can root it on there.. heh. Thats the whole point. and I told her to come running to me if AT&T asked for an update.. I clogged up the cache and her SD card so that it wouldn't be able to run until.. well, until i can get root access on the damn thing.
